Ivy League Goes Crypto: Brown University Drops Millions on BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF
Wall Street’s favorite institutional wrapper meets academia’s newfound crypto curiosity.
Brown University just joined the ranks of institutional Bitcoin adopters—quietly allocating millions to BlackRock’s spot BTC ETF. No press releases, no grandstanding—just a cold, calculated bet on digital assets slipping into their endowment portfolio.
Funny how even elite universities now chase the same ’unproven, volatile’ asset class their finance professors spent years dismissing. Maybe those donor-funded buildings need a blockchain upgrade.
